    8 figures? Let's see, yeah, if I count the decimal place and the two zeros as figures I am there.

    That's it? if it's all about a tax that explains why the democrats are for it and the republicans are against it. Too easy, I thought it had something to do with science.

    The Next Big Trade

    Was it that long ago? I guess I still own some bonds in the Vanguard Balanced fund, maybe 30 or 40% in that fund. I put the bond money in an ib trading account thinking I would go short ZN, never got around to it. I don't think I'll ever get long again. I won't let my kids invest in a balanced...

    Round and round we go, what will the politicians that will do something about it do? So far, the only politician that wants to do something about it owns ocean front property. We have 83 years to go before it gets bad. How about no more fossil fuel for developed countries after 2020? By then it...

    The Next Big Trade

    No problem, I haven't made a quality bet on bonds since I went long in 2002, that was the last one, I sold when rates hit a 2 handle and it's been nothing but waiting for inflation or something like it ever since. Thanks again for the Rickards clip. He is a big thinker outside a very little box...

    ok, I read it, is that all you want me to do? Great! Global warming isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I am now totally convinced global warming is real and man made co2 is causing it. Whew do I feel better now. ok then, problem identified. (I was afraid I was going to have to do...

    The Next Big Trade

    No kidding. They'd be calling up little old ladies asking if they could buy back the bonds they sold them just so they could cover. I don't make small bets but I do spread. What would I spread a long bond position against?

    I'm not denying anything. I don't know enough to deny or believe. Both sides always sound equally convincing to me. I only ask, What do you want me to do about it? Maybe if I flew to more Climate Conferences I could learn how to reduce my carbon footprint? I'm already lower than you and the...

    The Next Big Trade

    Well said I'd be surprised if rates rise as steadily as they fell for the last decade. I don't think a cash position short bonds will equal what an easy time we had going long. Regardless of what the fed does. My advice for stocks, sell any Trump rally, buy any Trump dip. Bonds? You are either...

    Trump Built a Wall in Scotland, Then Sent Residents the Bill The president-elect left a trail of un

    We don't whine. Whining is for loonies. We bitch. And we are not happy unless we are complaining about something. He flies around in his own private jet with his name on it. Makes Warren Buffets jet look like a toy. He lives in Trump Tower for crying out loud, and you think we are going to be...

    No constitutional right to have a press pass to the White House

    ok, but he should at least tell us when he is going to dinner "in case something happens"? They have a "right to know"? It is pathetic to hear them demand to be taken seriously. "It's a tradition"? I'd pay for view a nightly tv show that just exposes all their lies. The look of bewilderment on...

    ok, What do you want me to do about it? I burn less than 5 gallons of gasoline per month. My electricity is hydro, I have natural gas heat. I keep my thermostat low. I never use Air Force One when I play golf. Anything else?

    Trump Cites Progress in Keeping Carrier Air Conditioning Plant in Indiana

    And it's not just automation. American farmers are leading the way in new environmentally friendly farming practices both in livestock and crops. The new practices are really just the old practices our fore fathers used. Good for the land, avoids bad publicity, and of course more economical in...

    Trump Cites Progress in Keeping Carrier Air Conditioning Plant in Indiana

    Tomatoes haven't been planted or harvested by Americans for a long time. The valley use to be full of them. Now tomatoes, all staked by hand as far as the eye can see, sea of red in Mexico. Peaches and pecans in Georgia are increasingly being harvested with new fangled machines. The last white...

    That's good news, now the skeptics (after they get done trashing nasa and forbes) can concentrate on racism and bigotry. Antarctica is getting whiter and whiter all the time.

    Trump Cites Progress in Keeping Carrier Air Conditioning Plant in Indiana

    I think we all agree that Milton Friedman conservative economics will prevail. And that's what we want. But, the goal has changed. It is no longer an America goal to buy the most stuff at the cheapest price to make our life better. For one thing, we don't need more stuff and we have plenty of...
